Michelle Obama may wear her heart on her sleeve but she keeps her answers in her pocket

It took 10 minutes of tentative, borderline serious questions before Michelle Obama was treated like any other normal guest on America’s all female, all empowering daytime soapbox The View.

In what has to be the best episode of the programme since her husband put in an appearance earlier this year, Mrs Obama was questioned on everything from her sleek style to whether Mr Obama would install Hillary Clinton as his running mate.

Unsurprisingly she ducked that question, providing an answer that was long in word but void of substance. She’s a political charmer no doubt. And someone that certainly knows what she has to say to in order to actually say very little.
